" Iain Moody back in work "

Thu Jul 21, 2016 1:20 pm

Colchester United have appointed Iain Moody as head of player resources in his first club role since 2014.

Moody resigned as Crystal Palace sporting director that year after allegations he shared racist, sexist and homophobic texts with boss Malky Mackay when they were at Cardiff City.

After a "thorough" investigation, the pair faced no action from the FA.

Interesting, as I believe Moody was more the problem at the CCS than Malky was and didn't expect to see him back in football on 'trust' grounds alone! :o

My understanding was that the FA decided they had no jurisdiction over the accusations rather than finding they "weren't guilty" (both admitted they had made a mistake) after they made a similar assessment on one of their own at the FA

Hopefully, a good sign for Malky who I'd like to see back in football; just not at the CCS! :ayatollah:

They were both guilty, in private or not they had no respect for our players by referring to them as chinkies or blackies. Disgraceful that no action was taken but that's the FA for you...

They were but I see Moody as the Instigator-in-Chief :thumbup:

Malky has paid a heavy price and deserves a chance to redeem himself a little; particularly as he hasn't actually been punished legally, so is technically free to continue :ayatollah:
